Did you mean "torque" wrench? I'm pretty sure you didn't use a torch during your fluid change.

haha damn i must have been really tired when i typed that. yes, i meant torque and not torch, although now that i think about it, i could have used the heat method to loosen the bolts lol. but yeah, with the exhaust piping in the way, it was kinda a pain to torque down to specs.

Extentions are your answer. Simple solution.

Hey guys I'll post up pics in a minute. Basically I used a syrup pump from Starbucks. Drilled a hole in the cap from a Redline bottle and cut the pump down to fit. Then you just stick the tip in the hole, lol, and pump the bottle up and down.
I think I posted a mini diy in the tranny change thread too.

Yah this will make for a cleaner service.

I will try this approach on my next service.

^^ Thanks for posting your method. I can see how that can make it less messy and you can better control the overflow in the end.

Now I'm not sure which Starbucks to steal a syrup pump from haha

Just ask them for a pump. my wife buys bottles of their syrup from them and they just give her the pumps. lol I have a couple. just in case.
